Apparatus and method for adipose tissue reduction

Abstract

A lipolysis apparatus and method of using a low power laser or light emitting diode (LED) light sources in conjunction with a mechanical vibrator to non-invasively irradiate a patient's skin to achieve reduction of adipose tissue, body shaping, and body contouring. The light source is in a range of red light with wavelength ranging from 620 nm to 629 nm and 10 MW to 50 MW in power output.

Description

REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 494,003 filed Aug. 22, 2016, which is incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONFIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention is in the technical field of medical devices, and more in the particularly, to non-invasive medical devices for fat removal, body shaping, and body contouring. The noninvasive device uses low-power laser irradiation, LED lightwaves and mechanical vibration.DESCRIPTION OF RELATED ART[0003]There is a great demand for removal of excess adipose tissue, or fat, for health and aesthetic reasons. Cosmetic surgical procedure known as liposuction has been applied widely for targeted and local fat removal, body shaping, and body contouring. In a typical liposuction procedure, excess adipose tissue is suctioned from the body of a patient through one or more incisions. Since liposuction is an invasive surgical procedure, serious c...

Benefits of technology

[0006]The present invention is a non-invasive lipolysis device that uses a low power laser or LED light source to irradiate skin. The efficacy of low-level laser of the device is enhanced by applying a mechanical vibration simultaneously to the surface of the treatment region with a vibrating motor. The mechanical vibration accelerates cellular fat release and lymphatic drainage, and therefore works simultaneously with the low-level light wave irradiation to remove fat, body shaping, and body contouring.

[0007]The present invention uses a low power laser or LED Red-light wave in the range of 620 nm to 660 nm. More particularly, it uses a beam of red light which may or may not be condensed through a lens or transparent window to obtain the same effect as lipolysis of adipose tissue exposed through incision using a conventional ultrasonic or low power laser. In addition, the lipolysis device includes a flexible head that can adhere to the body and vibration motors inside head. When the unit is used it is adhered to the body the light wave emits and vibration waves emit at the same time which readily discharges liquefied fat from an adipose cell and concentrated in a space between cell tissues through the groin area, where lymphatic vessels are abundant, and out of the body. Further the lipolysis device can stably contact human
